Gonna miss @npub1n0st...k6h0
The app is just a perfect fit for me as a power user @Fabian Especially getting digest / notifications of my “favorite” npubs
🧡🐇
Time for me too, just need to order one and be done with it
This is the way!
Would be interesting to read about your initial experience and pain points - I’m going the same way when my iPhone is EoL.
No regrets; legit better UX and once you've tasted the freedom there is no going back!
Step 1: Install @Zapstore
There is no step 2.
You can be free only on free iron, not much exists nowadays with sufficient horsepower, but at least PCs could be free enough.
Mobile devices can't, even by law (mandatory secret baseband), so well... Do not consider Graphene as a really free place!
A GNU/Linux distro could be considered a bit yours but not else.
I have phones here running Linux distro’s
But to be used daily, that’s a real pain in the ass
But why is GrapheneOS not that free as Ubuntu Touch or PostmarketOS for example?
Because it run on proprietary SoCs. Of course Intel or AMD platforms are not free as well but at least they are open platform.
Beside smartphones are made to control and milk users, while desktops are still for produce things
I get it.
Yes I consider my Pinephone Pro as pretty free (Rockchip RK3399S). But the battery only lasts for 2-3 hours.
Gigi, hi from Madeira [we met at a meet up]...
Which Pixel would be best?
I would prefer one with dual SIM and possible microSD slot but they don't have it.
Unfortunately IMVHO there are no usable, reasonably free mobile solutions, that's why I'm sick to desktop as much as I can.
It's a more complex topic though because the main point is that a modern society need remote work, so desktops, homes with semi-autonomous power, sheds, not mobile to continuously moving between big buildings in dense areas. The gig economy need the very contrary: to push people owning nothing they need dense cities, large buildings, collective transport and so on, but that's against current tech evolution, so it will fail with much pain.

How do you like graphene so far?
Need more time to get all things running
But its very smooth so far And feels very much Android so I already know where to find stuff
Cant find my banking app in Zapstore 😕
Banks? 
good luck. i tried but still have to dual wield graphene and ios for various purposes.
void tearDown() {
BANK
}
I know…I know…
I’m not familiar with android so it’ll be a transition for me haha
Step 2: download bitcoin boogie. A game I vibecoded and have no plans of maintaining lol 😂
Too hard for me to stack sats
There's a whole section for banking apps check again 😉
I was going for flappy bird style lol 😂
